• Stir in Wheaties cereal until well coated.
• Transfer mixture to a metal or glass baking pan.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and place in 350 degree oven set on broil.
• Heat for 2-5 minutes, just long enough to melt the chocolate chips.
• Using a knife spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface of the mixture.
• Allow one hour for cooling, cut and serve.
